[QUOTE="novaman, post: 821049, member: 2744"] I was going to post the same thing. My best dairy cow had twin heifers and both were dead. It is frustrating. However, at 10 years old it should be no question what should be done with the cow unless you have an extra calf to spike onto her. I've been culling the dairy herd quite hard this spring because I'm getting $1000 a head for Holsteins. I know it is hard to move some of those good ole girls but this is a business and there is no way you can come out money ahead keeping her. Heck even a 5 year old should probably hit the road. No sense is running something for a full year with no return and there is always the possibility of death. [/QUOTE]
